Way of Corruption (Early Version)

Monks of the Way of Corruption are often tired of tranquility and peace, Realizing that Anger can be used for change as well. While barbarians use their anger as a tool to fight, These monks often use their rage in small amounts of constant activation, Which then manifests into concentrated bursts, Combining ferociousness with an otherwise calm demeanor allows them to access a unique energy that fuels their actions.

The Way of Corruption is designed to not have any specific order associated with it, But rather it is a set of techniques that may aid some. Depending on the individual, They will use this method as a way to release anger, Knowing that keeping anger hidden will only make it much worse. Others however, Will use this technique for evil, Allowing their Rage to overtake them, Overall making them more powerful and deadly.
